Fury 'in gym' and wants to fight Usyk again
Warren, who has promoted Fury since his comeback to boxing in 2018 after a two-year hiatus from the sport, dismissed suggestions the Morecambe fighter will take a tune-up fight. If Fury - who has a record of 34-2-1 - does return, the long-mooted fight with Anthony Joshua or a match-up against Dubois could also be possible. "He had some tough fights against [Deontay] Wilder. A fight I don't think he was right for against [Francis] Ngannou and then the two tough fights against Usyk," Warren said. "He's controlled most of the fights he's been in but he's not getting any younger. Knowing him, he'll want to go straight in."

Jack Conan reveals video from Katie Taylor inspired Lions before second Test win
Taylor, an Olympic gold medal winner and current undisputed world super lightweight champion, sent the good luck message to Andy Farrell's squad in the build-up to Saturday's second Test at Melbourne Cricket Club. The 39-year-old's words on the ability to dig deep turned out to be prophetic as the Lions emerged 29-26 winners after fighting back from an 18-point deficit. 'The video was unbelievably poignant and powerful. It spoke about being prepared to win with skill, but also being ready to win by will,' said Ireland number eight Conan, who like Taylor hails from Bray in County Wicklow. History made 🦁#Lions2025 — British & Irish Lions (@lionsofficial) July 26, 2025 'That was something that was massively summed up in the game because we were not at our best at all. 'It's huge because she comes from the town I'm from. I'm incredibly proud of where I come from and I know Katie is as well. 'She's gone on to achieve incredible feats in the boxing world. To be such a superstar, incredibly humble and driven is something that we leant on as well because we knew that Australia are a hugely proud nation and they showed it in spades. 'Everyone loved it, even the English and the Scottish boys and the Welsh boy – it resonated with everyone. It was unbelievably poignant, it was class. It really hit home for us.' It took a beautifully-taken try by Hugo Keenan with 51 seconds remaining to separate the rivals in one of the greatest Lions matches ever played. Remarkably, Keenan's touchdown was the first time they led in the match. Conan admits that victory tastes all the sweeter for having been taken to the wire as Australia raised their game to a whole new level a week after starting the series with a whimper in Brisbane. 'We were not at our best by any measure, but physically the lads dug in unbelievably well,' he said.

I thought the defensive sets we put in, just whacking people and just staying in there, was unbelievable. 'It's something that will go down in history. They won't be writing the history books about how s*** we were, but they'll say that we won and that's all that matters. 'Everyone's over the moon. To be part of a Lions winning series team is incredibly special. The celebrations in the changing room wouldn't have been the same if we'd won by 20.'

Why I have decided to delay having children to focus on my career even though my biological clock is ticking
Australian boxing champion Ruby Singh has revealed she has frozen her eggs, joining a growing number of women who are prioritising their careers before starting a family. Ms Singh, in her mid-30s and ranked among the world's top 10, recently won the WBC Asia Championship belt in April and is now preparing to head to the United States to chase her next world title. While her focus remains on boxing glory, Ms Singh said she didn't want to risk her chances of having children later in life. She has just completed an egg-freezing cycle at Adora Fertility in Australia – a move she said has lifted the weight of the 'ticking clock' many women in their 30s feel. 'Freezing my eggs had always been at the back of my mind,' she said. 'In my early 30s I started to think about it but I didn't really make a move because I was traveling around a little bit.' The turning point came after Ms Singh watched comedian Andrew Schultz's Netflix special Life, in which he openly discussed IVF and egg freezing. 'After I finished my fight, I knew I was going to be home for a few months before heading back to the US,' Ms Singh said. '[The documentary] sort of reminded me and I thought it was perfect timing for me to freeze my eggs.' Ranked among the world's top 10, Ms Singh chose to freeze her eggs in Australia before heading to the US for her next fight - ensuring her future family plans don't get sidelined by her career. Ms Singh chose to undergo the procedure in Australia rather than interrupt her gruelling training schedule while overseas. 'Australia is the best place to do it out of everywhere I've been in terms of affordability and everything and the support you get,' she said. 'I knew I'd be deep into a training camp overseas and once you get the momentum going and you're training for a world title set you can't pause for a few months, go egg freeze and then just restart the process. 'It's a valuable time for me and my boxing career. I can't afford to just pause halfway. So I thought, before I even start that journey of training for a world title, I would freeze my eggs.' Ms Singh said she dreams of one day having 'four or five kids' – and the decision has brought her peace of mind. 'I don't have to think about my biological clock when I'm focused and trying to fight someone, it just gives a little bit more control,' she said. 'I'm egg banking right now, so I'm doing a few sessions so I have enough by the time I'm ready to have kids and that gives me a sense of relief. 'I know it's not a guaranteed outcome, like the chance of having a kid depending on how many eggs you freeze, but as long as you're aware of it, I think it's a great idea.' Raised in a traditional Indian-Australian family where marriage and children often define success, Ms Singh said her career choice as a professional boxer was not always embraced. Her parents now cheer her on from the sidelines but still ask when she will settle down. 'Initially, when I told [my mum], she was like 'why don't you just get married?' Ms Singh said. 'I told her I just can't find a husband at a store and then just immediately have kids. 'It gives her relief that I'm actually thinking about having a family and want to have a family, rather than just letting the days go by and getting to an age where it's not an option anymore.' Her message to other women considering egg freezing is simple: start planning. 'You don't have to go ahead with it yet, but find a clinic and start thinking about it so you can write it on your to-do list,' Ms Singh said. 'Then you have an idea of the price and everything, and then once you're ready to go and you have the funds, you don't have to spend months searching for a clinic or waiting on tests.' Egg-freezing is becoming increasingly common in Australia, with almost 7,000 procedures carried out in 2022 – nearly double the 3,500 recorded in 2020, according to the Australian and New Zealand Assisted Reproduction Database. Dr Charley Zheng, a Fertility Specialist at Adora Fertility, said the clinic had seen a 20 per cent increase in women freezing eggs in the past two to three years. 'Anyone aged around 35 to 37 or below who has the opportunity to freeze their eggs, should,' Dr Zheng said. He added that the procedure can help women feel 'freed from the biological clock' and is vital for patients with endometriosis or those undergoing cancer treatment. 'Egg freezing is future-proofing,' Dr Zheng said. 'It allows social circumstances, like dating and finding a compatible partner, to run its course.'
